It seems like no matter how hard you try to avoid them, GMOs and toxic foods creep into your life.

Take for example, the earthily-packaged “natural” foods that are showcased in your grocery store aisles. They cost twice as much, have obscure brand names, and tout their health benefits and natural sources. You can almost smell the freshly tilled soil when you pick up the box.

Unfortunately, this is nothing more than corporate sleight-of-hand.

Many of the products that seem so good are actually just subsidiaries of the companies that were most complicit in blocking GMO labeling, aided and abetted by everyone’s favorite purveyor of death, Monsanto. (Monsanto, incidentally, donated $7,100,500.00 to the fight against the labeling of GMO-containing products.) Don’t forget that Monsanto is now above the law due to the Monsanto Protection Act, a traitorous rider that Senator Roy Blunt managed to attach to a bill that was subsequently signed into law by President Obama. (you know, that guy in the White House, who made the labeling of GMOs one of his 2007 campaign promises?)

I wish I could make a comprehensive list, but there are more stealthily labeled toxins on the shelves every single day. It all boils down to a these big companies that own nearly all of the foods sold in the United States. Some of the quietly owned subsidiaries may surprise you. Included is the amount that the company (and its subsidiaries) donated to defeat California Proposition 37 which would have required GMO labeling.

Not every item on this list contains genetically modified ingredients. The list is based on the duplicitous marketing of the companies. More consumers are trying to make healthy choices at the grocery stores, but it’s difficult when companies push their toxic wares and dress them up as health food. Young people in particular fall victim to these schemes. You have to give a kid credit for purchasing something called “Vitamin Water” over a soda pop, and it’s infuriating that the kid, trying to make a good choice, has been tricked into the purchase by deceitful advertising and marketing.

Some of the products listed, may in fact be exactly what they are portrayed to be, but I choose not to financially support the corporations behind them.

Protect your health and help starve the beast by avoiding products distributed by these companies and their subsidiaries:

PepsiCo $2,249,661.61

A little bit of good news…

It isn’t all bad news. There are a few companies you can still count on – keep in mind that corporate mergers take place every day. When businesses change hands, there is no obligation to notify the public. One such cautionary tale took place with the company Dean’s, which acquired Horizon foods. They quietly phased out the use of organic products without making any changes to the label and used non-organic milk produced under factory farm conditions. As well, they dropped the quality of their organic soy and began purchasing cheaper harvests from Asia. Meanwhile, unwitting retailers had no idea that the company had ceased producing the items organically, and continued to promote the products as they had previous to the acquisition.

Right now, these are some labels to look for.

Another way to avoid unscrupulous food producers is through apps such as Buycott. If you have an iPhone, it can be used to check a product that you see in the stores to see what corporate links exist with a quick scan (it will be coming to Android soon as well).

Of course, the best way to avoid GMOs and toxic additives is to avoid packaged foods altogether. Raise and preserve your own food, buy organic and local, cook from scratch, and avoid processed foods.

The Grocery Store Blacklist: 12 Food Companies to Avoid was last modified: June 18th, 2016 by WakingTimes

I see Heinz is on here big time. Does anyone know how much of Secretary of State John Kerry’s fortune–related to a spouse who is a Heinz widow or divorcee–is from GMO?

Pancho

Warren Buffet bought Heinz.

Kerry’s family was wealthy. His wife was Heinz’s widow, wealthier.

They have a pre-nup.

You post is a month old, so no one is likely to see my reply. I’m concerned. Are you okay?

Thanks Dr Eichelberger. That’s the last time I ever drink Pelligrino. Just saw the movie “Frances Ha.” They may have a product placement in the movie. Did not know that they were at all associated with Nestle. Buycott Pelligrino now! Buycott.

Jimi

Interesting comment about Dean’s, I’m looking at silk.com right now and they state they are non-GMO and support Just Label It. Thank you.

No no no… not PHONIES.
Cheap whores desperate to keep the illusion going that they are relevant,and that they are “The Authorities”.
But they are just the cheapest sluts that have ever existed.
I don’t even know if they do exist because all their job was is to take care of the infrastructure.
They have not taken care of it pocketing the money for who knows what?
Crack,whores,fancy bulletproof cars(like these http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX3S5jLgdbs ) If you have ever been to a strip club you know that the whores are well protected.You cannot have access unless you pay.
They took the money they were supposed to fix the infrastructure to camouflage themselves in normal looking cars.
Then they have to have mercenary private guards.
But they are too scared to let you see them driving in armored tanks…so they dress up their whoremobiles to make them look normal.
They have outsourced all infrastructure repairs (cuz it’s been neglected)to China!http://www.thetrumpet.com/article/10532.18.0.0/economy/china-to-take-over-us-infrastructure
I don’t really know what their purpose is any more except to guard themselves and buy high tech weapons because they are paranoid schizophrenics.But if China takes over the infrastructure (and China doesn’t want anyone to have a gun http://rendezvous.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/12/15/china-calls-for-no-delay-on-gun-controls-in-u-s/)
So they are useless whores because they really don’t do anything anymore but go on TV and lie and ride in their armored cars and pretend.
They are not PHONIES but leech whore nothings who gave away their responsibilities…but they always need money for their pimps and for guards and insane weapons and to pay mercenary killers to protect them.They are less than whores because you at least get a good time from a whore if you pay them.With government whores all you get is a case of clap.

No wonder why drug store chain in my country Philippines are enjoying their business of selling medicines. however, most of our y-generation are well informed to these toxic foods so it is their old folks (baby boomers) actually are heavy medicine buyers. Thank you for the information.I am go juicer person and organic food worshiper.

Bobby

Well, these are but minor issues to the bought off politicians in the Senate and Congress who are now more worried about ruining the environment of the U.S. through massive immigration. I wonder if leftist blogs are bothered by that little fact? Of course not, because many leftists, employ illegal labor and suddenly, have no problem with the destruction of the environment, unions, or anything else. PHONIES.

Dick

Agreed. Massive immigration and population explosion are a big issue. Nobody cares about overpopulation and we should because it’s going to destroy not only the environment…
